Talk to Dermatologist on Scabies
Asking For Mother, Female 70, Karachi
My mother was recently diagnosed with scabies, as she had been having severe itching and boils for a few weeks, but wasn't diagnosed properly by any dermatologist. Now, she has been taking all the medications as prescribed by Dr. Rabia Ghafoor. But she still complains of itching, especially at night. Someone told me to use Sulfur Soap. Will that relieve itching??

depends on the medicines she has taken so far.. some times scabies takes time to get away. I would suggest consult again Dermatologist and tell the symptoms and medicines which has taken so far..
Kindly check if your mother has followed the right method of application of medicine that has been prescribed.

If she has applied the treatment exactly as advised by the dermatologist, then scabies infection is eradicated. however, the itching may continue upto a few weeks. sulfur soap can be used. also , she can take oral antihistamine.
